Kids are going to do what they're told not to do. Hell, it's human nature. If there were condom dispensers in all schools growing up, there's less people in my class who were having babies at such a young age & that's a fact.

Condom dispensers are fine with me but it's the schools in New York handing out the Plan B pill that I have a problem wit.

This particular district has 13 schools handing out Plan B to high school girls...and without any policy that parents have to be notified.

I don't care where you stand on the political map...putting any kind of pill into a student's mouth, w/o their parent's consent, is insane.

I think the issue, is some kids are afraid of how their parents will react if they tell them they are pregnant. Some parents tend to act un adult like when they are dilevered the news (ie violent towards their child)

Like earlier in the year when a girl got pregnant was too embarrassed to tell he parents, ended up having the baby in the toilet and it died?
Terrible.

was not my point, but if these kids can get access (either free or cheep via an organzation) to say a condom or Plan B pill, it could help lower the teen pregnancy rate. Some kids seem to be to afraid to get them when they need them.
